Solihull Council - Chelmsley Wood history
Solihull Council - Chelmsley Wood history: "During the Second World War some 3,000 houses in Birmingham were destroyed and no more were built for 6 years.
In order to meet demand, new houses had to be built in large numbers and the slum clearance programme had to be resumed to enable redevelopment of Birmingham city centre. Large new estates were built within the city boundaries e.g. Druids Heath, but by the 1960s there was insufficient land left to accommodate further large-scale developments.
In November 1963, Birmingham City Council took the decision that would lead to the building of the Chelmsley Wood estate."
